Olivier Giroud will leave Arsenal if Arsene Wenger revamps his strike-force next season.

Giroud is apparently willing to leave Arsenal if Wenger revamps his strike force.

Alexis Sanchez is likely to leave with just one year left on his current deal with Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain all reportedly showing an interest.

But should Sanchez depart and Giroud continue to have fears about being overlooked going into next season, he will leave to ensure he gives himself the best chance of making France's World Cup squad in Russia next summer.

Marseille have shown strong interest in the striker with the French club keen to bolster their ranks as they bid to compete for the Ligue 1 title next season.

The Mirror claim Marseille are ready to pay up to £20million to sign Giroud.

And sporting director Andoini Zubizarreta said of Giroud this week: “He is a great player but I refuse to speculate on particular names.”

Since signing for Arsenal from Montpellier in 2012, Giroud has scored 98 goals in 225 appearances.
